The Getty Villa and Centre

Over the last couple of weeks my Mum and I have taken a few trips outside of Santa Monica, two places being the Getty Villa and the Getty Centre.

The Getty Villa was breathtaking; from entrance to exit I was stunned by the beauty around me. The Villa is dedicated as a museum with studies of arts and cultures of ancient Greece, Rome and Etruia, giving it a very Mediterranean vibe. The peace and tranquility flowed throughout and it really started to feel like I was in an Ancient Greek Palace or something!

The Getty Centre was just as incredible, but with a more contemporary style which I just loved. The modern structures, clean lines, well thought out architecture and design made it feel very heavenly; similarly to the Villa but more of a recent time. The Centre is filled with contemporary art works and outdoor sculptures. The gardens were wonderful and calming and the views mind blowing.

I took the opportunity with both my visits to take lots of photos and I will now share with you some of my favourite; I hope these will help you see how truly fantastic both the Getty Villa and Centre are.

About Me

I have created my blog to give my readers a look at my travels to America, an insight into some of my past experiences, as well as present ones. Also, I will be writing about my interests, inspirations, hobbies, loves and so on.
The main reason I started this blog was and is to help myself; to keep my mind open, to move forward and motivate myself through challenges I may come across.
I hope this blog helps to keep me inspired, as well as to inspire others, with the things I love and am interested in.
Another reason I started this blog was to help me through my travels; for times I found myself feeling lonely, or a little down - I hoped I'd then be able to use that emotion and channel it into writing or working on my blog.
This in fact worked wonderfully, and now that I am back from my travels I plan to continue to blog.
I'd love my readers to feel engaged in my journey; I hope to continue to do some great things, to take lots more photos and show more of what inspires me in the world.
